This year the CHECC (Council of Higher Education Caving Clubs) bash is being held in the Dales, and since it coincides with a GUPA trip there’s no excuse not to go!
It’s the weekend of 26-28 November 2010.
The event is always sober and restrained, and if you believe that you’ll believe anything.
Take a look at the CHECC website here for full details.
If you fancy a pint or to exchange tales of derring-do come 
and meet us in the pub. Anyone with an interest in caving is welcome.
We meet on Thursday evenings in the Uisge Beatha on Woodlands Rd in Glasgow: the pub website can be seen here. We may be in any of the rooms depending on how full it is; if you can’t find us ask the staff.
We are usually there from 9pm.
Outwith termtime the old lags who are still in Glasgow are usually there but it’s worth checking with us first.
The nearest subway station to the Uisge Beatha is Kelvinbridge and there’s a map here: View Larger Map

At the end of last year a group of Croatian cavers made contact with the GSG while on a non-caving holiday in Scotland. I met them and they were really keen to come back and do some caving – and of course will show us some of their caves if any Scottish cavers can do a trip over there. They have confirmed and are coming for two weeks in August.
It’s an excellent opportunity to make some new caving friends and I have said that we should be able to round up some Guppies to take them caving as well, so if you fancy making some new caving mates get in touch.
The dates are:
5 August: Croatians arrive
6 – 13 August: Assynt
14 – 17 August: Dales (Farm booked, Lancaster permit on 14th)
17 – 19 August: South Wales (SWCC booked, OFD permit on 18th)
20 August: Croatians leave
A couple of Cardiff cavers have kindly offered their leadership services for the OFD trip so that would be a good chance to do this amazing Welsh cave. See the cave website here.
So, Guppies, come along on some trips and help show the Croatians a good time! Contact Hugh for more details.
